Residency Placement

Advertisements

This is my first post to ValueMD, but I have been browsing quite a bit. I understand that IAU is in the process of NY accreditation. I'm not sure I even understand what accreditation even means-if a school is "accredited"-does this mean that you may apply to a residency in that state? If so, does IAU have accreditation in any other states? I have looked on the IAU website, but I just don't see any information about residency matches, only information about clinical rotations. Also, has IAU graduated any students yet? If so, is there information about their residency placements?

Only 2 states have a formal "accreditation process"

NY accreditation allows schools to obtain more than 12 weeks of just clinical rotations (year 3 and 4 of school). It does not directly guarantee residency or licensure. Although, this could help in clinical/residency placement and licensure in New York and several other states. You do not NEED accreditation for residency or licensure in NY. NYS Medicine Application Forms

California accreditation allows for clinicals, residency, and licensure in that state and almost everywhere else. Without it, you are not permitted to practice in that state, it will be considered a class B misdemeanor. Medical Board of California -

The school started in 2004, therefore will not help eligible graduates that can be "matched" into programs until next year possibly. As stated in previous threads, we have a few students who will probably be ready to compete in next years match. We will post that information when available.
